71111 44 nat., A VISIT TO FONTAINEBLEAU. Fontainebleau, Aug. 27. Two illnstrious travellers have this week visited Fontaine bleau, the King of Naples and your anonymous correspon dent, whose greatness you will be pleased to proportion to the humility with which he conceals his name and estate. Monsieur 71Z071 bon frere, as Monarchs style each other both in peace and war, has hurried on to his dominions, in dread, it is whispered, of a new Constitution. I, that have left my realms to mend an old and decayed constitution, have tar ried here a day or two, and now sit myself down to scribble much that know, and, I fear, not much that you know not. Fontai.nebleau has always been frequented by strangers, especiaiity by Englishmen, who, in addition to the reputa tion of hunting after the marvellous, enjoy in France that mr,rc creditable quality of exploring such spots as yield historical recollections. In this respect few places in Europe are more attractive than this, which was the abode of Louis VII. so early as the year 1169. Scarcely a day passes without some foreign pilgrim being seen sketching the architecture of Francis I. or Henry 11. ; and it was but two days ago that I gazed on two lovely daughters of Albion busily engaged in ornamenting their albums with drawings of the beautiful staircase in the Cheval Blanc court, where Napoleon clasped to his heart the banners of his Guards, tore himself from his fellow-survivors of a hun dred battles, and exchanged his empire for the rock of Elba. The Chateau, which, from its extent and irregular struc ture, an English traveller has aptly likened to a rendezvous de chateaux, I have minutely inspected under the guidance of the complaisant keeper, who, strange enough, has come from Circassia to show foreigners over the Palaces of the Most Christian Kings ; for Monsieur Ali is a native of that distant region, whence be entered the Mamalukes, and in that capacity was attached to Napoleon. He conducted me first to the apartments of the King and Queen of the Belgians, which look upon the JardinAnglais ; thence to the Pope's, which are still hung in violet—the delicate attention of his Imperial gaoler ; for it was there that Pius the Seventh sojourned, both in 1804, when he was sum moned to crown Bonaparte, and eight years later, when the Holy Father became his prisoner. When the Duke of Orleans visits Fontainebleau he sleeps in the violet bed in which the Roman Pontiff slumbered. The tapestry of this couch, from the Gobelins, represents subjects which it must he owned are much more suited to the Gallant Prince than to the spiritual head of the Catholic world. Here also Francis the First received his great rival Charles V., and it was in the same apartment that Charles the Fourth of Spain took up his abode. In the Palace is to be seen a picture representing the Duchess d'Estampes, mistress of Francis the First, in the act of returning to Charles the Fifth a ring of great value which he had designedly dropped whilst washing his hands. The Emperor observed, " I perceive that this ring will have another owner, and beg you will keep it, for it cannot be in fairer hands." The wily Emperor had heard that the Duchess advised the King to have him arrested until the treaty of Madrid should be revoked, and to propitiate the Royal mistress he resorted to the stratagem, which proved completely successful. I was subsequently led through numberless rooms more or less beautiful or interesting, and some most magnificent, till at length we reached as it were the bouquet or apartment in which the grand homnie of ultra-liberal and ultra-incon sistent jeuneFrance signed his abdication. The small round table upon which that memorable document was penned is still exhibited to visitors, but the precious quill which the unwilling Emperor used on the occasion has va nished, so many having been sold that few gulls can now be found to supply this branch of honest Ali's perquisites. Fontainebleau Palace had long required extensive re pairs. Several of the principal apartments were falling to ruins, among others the galleries of Henry 11. and Francis 1., the hall of the guards, the chapels, &c. Under Louis XVIII. the Diana Gallery was, with much taste, restored by the most eminent artists. Louis Phillippe has resumed the repairs, and under his auspices the beautiful gallery of Henry 11. will be soon completed, with rare and truly royal magnificence. The fresco paintings by Nicolo, after the drawings of Prirnatier, have been admirably revived. En tirely new ceilings of oak, with partitions, in which are em bossed, upon a ground of gold and silver, the cyphers of Henry 11. and Diana of Poictiers, will produce a most splen did effect. When finished this gallery will be the fineFt monument of the Renaissance style. Below it Louis Phil lippe has caused another gallery to be constructed, which 1: to ' bear his name, and to serve as a hanquetting room ; it is of the same style, and, though inferior in beauty. of a fine effect. The gallery of Francis 1., also ornamented by Pri matice, is likewise about to undergo repairs. But one of the most interesting parts of the building is the small chore! of Saint Saturnin. situate on the ground floor, next to th.- Louis. Phillippe gallery. This little monument, constructed by King Louis VII., and consecrated by Thomas a'Becllet. was almost wholly rebuilt by Francis 1., and has just been repaired. The ornaments are charming. An inscription records that which is particularly pleasing at a period wl:en the rising generation of France, of all others, would con- demn to the same oblivion and proscription the old mom:- merits as well as old institutions of their country. The in scription says that the window glasses are painted aftrr drawing,,, of Princess Mary of Orleans, and it is hut just to say that the work would do as much credit to the hand or an artist as it does to the good taste of Louis Phiilippc's youthful daughter. It would be too long to enumerate the repairs of all dc s3riptions which the Palace is undergoing. Unfriendly 3' I am to the political character of Louis Philippe, I cannot withhold my humble tribute to the taste he displays in the arts, and especially in architecture. Amidst thi. recklessness and contempt with which the French of tit' present. day view the decay of their historical souvenirs is gratifying to behold him, by judicious repairs, religiously preserving whatever can be wrested from the withering, hand of time, and so scrupulously respecting the primitive style that at Fontaineb!eau visitors are to be continually heard inquiring whether such part be modern or whether it be old. 'ln vain does one search this Palace for the Galerie deg erfs, in which the Qucea Christina of Sweden caused her equerry, the Marquis de Monaldeschi, to be put to death. The gallery has vanished, to make room for apart ments which possess no remarkable feature. The spot on which the unfortunate lover was stabbed to death is, how ever, pointed out to visitors. In the interesting narrative of this tragic occurrence left us by Father Lebel, who vainly. implo re d the revenge ful Queen's mercy, and attended her victim in his last moments, is the .following passage :—" She (Christina) ordered me to have his corpse removed and buried ; she added that she would have several masses performed for tne repose of his soul. I had a coffin made, caused him to be put into a cart, owing to its being dusk, to the weight ,of the body, and the badness of the road ; and thus he was conveyed to the parish of Avon by my Vicar and Chaplain, assisted by three men, with orders to bury him in the church, near the holy-water bason. This was ac complished at five o'clock." With Father Lebel's report of the horrible transaction, I proceeded to the humble tomb of Monaldeschi, in the little church Of Avon, which was formerly the parochial church of the chateau. The village is about a mile from Fontainebleau. As I entered the church I perceived, at the foot of the Benitier, a wretched stone, between ten and twelve inches square, resembling a paving stone, upon which are coarsely engraven the words " Cygit Monodel zi." Few persons have seen this stone—few even are aware of its existence. In the village I was told an anec-. dote, which, as a native of Great Britain, and devout wor shipper of historical monuments, I attentively listened to. About a year ago an Englishman came and visited the church of Avon. Ile espied the stone, and, not doubting that beneath it lay the remains of Monaldeschi, requested the curate to allow him to dig up the spot, at the same time tendering a sum of money to the parish. The curate rejected the application. Our countryman, nothing de jected by the repulse, successively addressed himself to the mayor, the Sous-Prefet, and even Procureur du Roi, and ultimately obtained the permissi on he sought for. He forthwith brought workmen to the task, and soon found the remains of the poor equerry. He had them enclosed in a leaden coffin, which he deposited on the same spot, and covered in precisely the same manner. At the distance of about a foot from the old tomb he had another stone placed upon which he had recorded some of the particulars given by Father Lebel. I was further assured in the village that in this operation our countryman had spent between 5,000 and 6,000 francs. In the little church of Avon are also the hearts of Philippe le Bel, and the Queen, his Consort, and the remains of the naturalist, Daubenton, and the ma thematician, Bezout. On leaving the Palace I repaired to the reservoir or etang, and paid my respects to the numerous carp thriving there on the copious donations of cake and bread which they are indebted for to their abundant visitors. Many of these venerable fish are upwards of a hundred years old, and their long acquaintance with society has rendered them free and familiar. Some are even represented to have been dabblinc , in their pond since the days of Francis the First. That they are very o ld i s no t d ou btf u l ; for they are almost white, and several lost their scales. In the middle of this sheet of water a little pavilion, built by the Roi Chevalier, and repaired by Louis Philippe, has been honoured with tne presence of Peter the Great. On the occasion the Czar and his suite so largely partook of a sumptuous luncheon that it was found necessary to carry them back to the boat, and from the boat to their carriages. The Mus covite Monarch then proceeded to Petit-Bourg, the magni ficent chateau of the Duke d'Antin, which thanks to the loans„of King Ferdinand VII., has become th e p ro p er t y o f the opulent M. Aguado. One word 1,t0.e, and I have done with Fontainehleat,.

After the glorieuses journees the game was wholly exterminated, and the venison sold in Fontainebleau as low as twopence halfpenny per pound. This act of Vandalism, which was probably at that period of popular frenzy approved of by the inhabitants, seems now to be appreciated by them as it should be. There is a scarcity - of game in the town. The intention of Louis Phillippe is said to be to re-people the forest ; and as Napoleon had stocked it with a quantity of deer, his successors may perhaps venture the same step with out exciting displeasure, the grand honinze being now a la mode. _ _ But I must conclude, my landlady having just invaded my apartment to remind me of a game at " picquet," by which I have promised to end with her another day, devoted to searching after what she contemptuously calls des anti quailles. Something- herself of an antiquaille, my ci-devant handsome hostess at this moment tells me by her looks that which Madame Deshoulieres laments in her elegant lines : " Etres inanimes, rebuts de la nature, Ah I que vous faites d'envieux ; Le temps, loin de vous faire injure, Ne vous rend que plus precieux I On cberche avec ardeur une medaile antique; D'un buste, d'un tableau le temps hausse le prix ; Le voyageur s'arrete a voir l'affreux debris D'un cirque, d'un tombeau, d'un temple magnifique Et pour notre vieillesse on n'a que du mepris."

SEPTEMBER 2, 1836 There is something in a State-established-system of religious polity as inveterately hostile to the genuine spirit of liberty, as such a system is to the pure and simple religion which we find inculcated in the New Testament. Wherever religion has been connected with the State, it has degenerated into a dull an:l dead routine of forms and ceremonies, and its Ministers have necessarily become what the events of every passing clay prove them to be, in this and other countries—the advocates of abuses and corruptions without number, naturally springing ou: of the unhappy and unchris tian association of temporal with spiritual things. It follows, as a matter of course, that the Clergy should be the enemies of Reform, and of all who either by thought, word, or deed, are guilty of contributing towards the improvement of our Institutions. They know that when our Civil Institutions are improved up to the demands of the present times, and brought into harmony with the spirit of the age, their concern will make a bitter bad appearance, and will not be al lowed to escape the ruthless hand of the regenerator. Instances of this clerical abhorrence of liberal mea sures and liberal men are not of rare occurrence—they are "as plenty as blackberries." Only the other di,v this miserable and impolitic feeling displayed itself in an attempt, on the part of the clergy of the diocese of Durham, to spite their newly-appointed Bishop, Dr. MALTBY. This learned and excellent man was the friend of PARR, and has been distinguished by the liberality of his sentiments, and his superiority to those mean sectarian jealousies, which are so common anion , the clergy of the Established Church. These were sins not to be forgiven, and accordingly when the new Bishop came to take possession of the episcopal resi dence, though the principal inhabitants of Bishop- Auckland went out to meet him, and gave a him hearty welcome, the clergy kept aloof So they did after wards at his installation ; and we would ask them, if they did not, by thus omitting a customary mark of respect to their diocesan, show themselves up infinitely more than they did him whom they meant to insult ; but who by this exhibition of pitiful malice, has gained another claim to the respect of all good and honest men. The people of Durham will not be slow to appreciate the many good qualities of Dr. 7 MALTBY, and we are much mistaken if they do not let the clergy know what they think of their conduct on this occasion. We do not think the church has any popularity to spare at the present moment. The Denbigh Conservative Association celebrated its first—and, we strongly suspect, its last—A univer sary, by a dinner on Tuesday last, in the Town-hall of Ruthyn. Scarcely more than a hundred members could be brought together on this occasion, notwith standing that the dinner (we quote the language of the report) " consisted of ''every delicacy that th e season could produde"—an irresistible proof that Toryism is at so low an ebb in Denbighshire, that not even the - L A _ SUN, LO ~~~, bribe orgood eating and drinking gratis—many of the tickets having, as is usual on such occasions, been given away—can bring it into favour among the intel ligent middle classes of the county. The Conservative party is indeed at the lowest stage of depression ; con sequently, at every public meeting and dinner, the Incapables give vent to the same language of dismay, disappointment, and despair. At the Denbigh Anni versary this desolation of spirit was specially re •narkable, each orator vieing with the other, not in the expression of hope and confidence, but of sheer, unalloyed desperation. The Chairman's (the Hon. LLOYD KENYON) speech, in particular, was a more dismal effusion than any that has been given vent to, since the days when JEREMIAH uttered his lamen tations among the ruins of Nineveh. The Hon. Gen tleman was all affliction for his party—all despair for his country. Those wicked Whigs, he said, had laid the hands of revolution on every thing—a conviction which so completely overpowered his sensibilities, and clouded his judgment, as to involve him in the most ludicrous inconsistencies. Acting under the influence of this malign spell, he denied one moment what he had said the moment before, lamenting in one part of his speech " the present distracted state of the country," and in another, congratulating himself that " it was now in a state of prosperity 1" In speaking of our Ecclesiastical Establishment, he gave equal evidence of being, like Othello, " perplexed in the extreme." Thus, he stated that the " Church was built on the surest foundation against schism. It was one of the . fairest gifts to man—the noblest work of God.' Now as episcopacy, according to the high Tory creed, forms the ground work of the ecclesiastical edifice, it is clear from the above assertion, that the Bishops must be the " fairest gift" that GOD ever"yet made " to man ;" and that to arraign the opinions of such im maculate bipeds immediately emanating, as they do, from Heaven, is to arraign the dispensations of Provi dence itself. This may be good Conservative doctrine, • but it is sad stuff, for all that. Who but the rankest fa natic would ever dream of defining Dr. PHILLPOTTS as " the noblest work of God !" It is really sur ; prising what stark nonsense these Tories permit them = selves to utter. Whether in Parliament, or out of Parliament, they are never weary of giving vent to the most ludicrous absurdities, though it was reserved for a KENYON to scale the top-most point of folly, by publicly declaring his opinion that episcopacy" was one of the fairest gifts to man—the noblest work of God." We copy the following very sensible observations respecting the late dreadful fire, from our Contempo. rary, the Morning Herald, of this day : " Another dreadful conflagr, ation has occurred, and that in the heart of the mercantile part of the metropolis, in which the loss of property is calculated to amount to half a million, the greater part of which is attributed to the want of a suffi cien,t supply of water to arrest the progress of the flames in the first instance. This is so 'Serious an evil, and one, wee regret to add, of such frequent occurrence, that we can not but express our surprise that some effectual steps vre not taken to prevent it. The Insurance Offices, in particu lar, arc so deeply interested in its correction, that they ap pear at least to be extremely negligent about the enor mous drafts upon their funds which these calamities occasion, not to set about the matter in earnest. Why are not the dif ferent Water Companies, who enjoy so valuable a monopoly, and whose utility every one must readily acknowledge— why are they not ,compelled (by Parliament, if no other power can effect it) to keep their mains constantly charged? Instead of which they appear to be, one and all, so chary of their simple uncxpensive fluid, as if it were wine or nectar. What are the parish vestries, what the civic authorities, what are the metropolitan members—all of them such mirrors of patriotism—about, that they do not turn their attention to this subject, and never quit it till they have secured to the inhabi tants of this vast hive of wealth, industry, and enjoyment, an exemption from the so frequent occurrence of a calamity, which we cannot but persuade ourselves admits of prompt and easy mitigation? We arc only doing whet we conceive to he our duty to the public in thus adverting to the subject--let the parties we have alluded to do theirs." No person who has seriously reflected upon the alarm ing frequency of fires in the metropolis, and has calcu lated the immense masses of public and private wealth annually consumed by these terrible visitations, can feel otherwise than grateful to our Contemporary for bringing this subject so appositely before the public. The stoicism of the civic, parochial, and other autho rities, upon a subject of the most vital importance to the inhabitants of London, would justify us in pro nouncing them more observant of the ordinances of the Koran than of the precepts of the New Testament, did we not know that their apathy arises from culpable indifference, not from an entire resignation to the pre destined decrees of Providence. Something must be done to rouse them. If those who enjoy the lucrative monopoly of supplying the inhabitants of this over grown city with water will not do their duty, means ought instantly to be taken to compel them. The sup ply of water is notoriously inadequate to the wants of the inhabitants ; and though the Companies are perpe tually dinning in our ears that abundance of water for every purpose may be had at a moment's notice, yet somehow or other it always happens that there is little or none to be had when there is the greatest want of it —namely in cases of fire. The Courts of Aldermen and Common Council are deserving of great blame in this affair. They are especially bound to remedy a calamity which annually involves the ruin of some hundreds of industrious and independent tradesmen. The oily accounts from Spain received this morn ing, will be found in the following extracts from the French Journals of Wednesday : PAras, AUGUST 30. —News have been received from Nfa dricl of the 21st, 22d, and 23d. This news is really melan choly. If we credit the information which has been given us, there was fighting in the streets of Madrid, and there had been a great effusion of blood. Journal du Commerce, Second Edition. W e have received by the usual channel the Madrid Journals of the 19th, 20th, 21st, and 22d of this month. We see with pleasure that, since the deplorable affair of the 18'h, in the evening there had been no collision between the several corps of the garrison. The letters from the fron tiers had confounded the dates. It was by a courier despatched on the night of the 21st, that the first news was brought of the affair of the 18th. The other couriers having been delayed, it was supposed that the courier in question had left immediately after the affair, which was accordingly pre sumed to have happened on the 21st. We have only to wish that the contest may not have been renewed in the days sub sequent to the 21st, as has been reported in Paris for these two days. The Memorial des Pyrenees says, " We have the following in a letter from Bebons :—The following news has been brought us by muletteers from laca, on the 20th and 21st. 12,000 Navarrese Urbanos rose spontaneously and fell on eight Car list battalions, which they totally destroyed, not one having been able to escape by flight." The Sentinelle des Pyrenees speaks of the assassination of the Marquis de Miraflores, President of the Chamber of Pro ceres, but in such vague terms, that we may hope the news is not true.—Journal du Commerce, Aug. 31. (Extract of a Letter dated Madrid, August 22.) The peace of the capital has not been disturbed since the events of the 19th, but the irritated state of the public mind and the cabals to cause division among the Liberals do not guarantee that this tranquillity will be of long duration. It is very certain that there exists a state of general discontent which the enemies of the country make the most of, and if the roar of the cannon has not been heard since the 19th, no one day or ni g ht p asses w i t h out some a ff ray ta ki ng p l ace . Private vengeance causes much bloodshed in the capital, and as yet the endeavours of the authorities have been unable to calm the effervescence of the popular passions. The capital is not the only theatre of these dreadful excesses ; letters from Valencia state that disturbances have likewise occurred in that town. The citizens are obliged to arm in self-defence, in the ab sence of all legal protection. It is no uncommon sight to behold the inhabitants of tha city with a sword by their side, pistols in their belt, and a cudgel in their hand: it is indeed a strange state of things that gives to the peaceful inhabitant of this city the accoutrement and appearance of the leader of a band of brigands. If the alarm among the citizens is great, it is no less so at the palace of the Queen. The nomination of General Rodil has evidently been forced upon her; her dislike to that officer has especially manifested itself since the fall of the Mendizabal Ministry. Calatrava thought to conciliate everything by procuring this nomination, upon condition that Rodi lshould at the same time repair to the army of the North, and thus avoid to the Queen the necessity of (laving any personal communication with man who was so repugnant to her. It appears quite settled that the Cortes are to meet on the IDAN, SEPTEMBER 2, 1836. 24th of October. The dispositions of the Constitution of 1812 will be observed. Such is at least the general opinion, which does not attempt to conceal the embarrassment which must result to Government from the confusion between the principles of the Royal statute and those of the Constitution of 1812. The French Embassy is put into mourniug, and an immense crowd who hasten to inscribe themselves at Madame de Ray neval's, testify the high esteem in which her husband was held, and how much he is regretted. MADRID, AUG. 23.—The renewal of a law upon the freedom of the press was a necessary consequence of the proclamation of the Constitution of 1812. The Ministry have thought proper to observe the one decreed by the Cortes of the 22d of October, 1820. This law allows all Spaniards to write and publish their opinions without first submitting them to the Censorship, excepting only works which treat of the Scrip tures or the dogmas of the Catholic religion.—Espanol. The Paris papers of Wednesday have all been re ceived. The KING has not yet succeeded in the re construction of the Cabinet. It is generally believed that M. GUIZOT has agreed to accept office under Count MOLE ; though the Temps asserts the con trary. According to that journal, GUIZOT seeks to have the Duke de BROGLIE appointed President of the Council. Baron PASQUIER is mentioned as likely to be appointed, if GUIZOT take office with him ; but the rumour is not regarded as credible. THIERS is about to revenge himself upon the KING by retiring into Italy. Were he to remain permanently there, we presume his Most Christian MAJESTY would not be inconsolable. It is not the absence, but the pre sence, of the little bustling ex-President of the Coun cil, that fills his MAJESTY with apprehension. The following extracts are from the journals : PARIS, AUG. 30.—At a very late hour this morning nothing was decided respecting the new Ministerial arrangements. The composition of the Ministry even appeared to be less ad vanced than it was yesterday and this morning. The accounts which we published yesterday of the fall of Calatrava's Ministry, are not confirmed. Nobody wishes more than we do, that these reports may be false. We must say, however, that we have them from good authority. A fact which we can to-day state as certain is, that the af fairs of Don Carlos are in a very bad state. Disorder and desertion are in the army of the Pretender. The defeat of Ituralde is at most a decided advantage. On the other band, subsidies do not arrive—the finances are in a most deplorable condition. _ _ Everything, therefore, leads to a belief that we are ap proaching the end of the war in Navarre.

I have no means of ascertaining what are the views of the new Administration, with regard to the meeting of the Chambers ; but it is generally believed that they will be pro rogued to the middle of September. Rodil takes the com mand of the army of the North, and Garcia Cambo is to be Minister of War ad interim. It was said yesterday that a clue bad been obtained to the hiding-place of Isturiz, as well as Galiano, who are believed to be still concealed in the capital.

Then follow some panegyrics on the Tory aspirant for the honour of representing Bath. It is rumoured that a canvass has been begun for a Reformer.

MAGAZINES.-CONTINUED. METROPOLITAN. The Memoirs of Prince Lucien Bonaparte, which are very properly placed at the head of this Number, are full of delightful reading. In speaking of the Reign of Terror, the Prince expresses his abhorrence of the acts of Robespierre and his blood-thirsty crew, in terms of the most unqualified abhorrence, and shows how adroitly his Imperial brother, while panting for an opportunity of signalizing himself either in the field or the Cabinet, yet resolutely refused to bare any con nection with, or accept promotion under, the auspices of such reckless tyrants. " They offer me," said Na polcon, speaking one day to Lucien and some other friends,— " They offer me the place of Henriot, Commandant of Paris. lam to give my answer this evening. Well, what say you to it ?" We hesitated a little. "Eh ! eh," rejoined Napoleon, "but it is worth the trouble of considering ; it is not a case to be enthusiastic upon ; it is not so easy to save one's head at Paris, as at St. Maximin. The young Robespierre is an honest fellow ; but his brother is not to be trifled with ; he will be obeyed. Can I support that man ? No, never. I know how useful I should be to him in replacing his simpleton of a Commandant of Paris ; but it is what I will not be. It is not yet time ; there is no place honourable for me at present but the army. We must have patience. I shall command Paris hereafter." This prophetic observation was made by Napoleon at a period when he was yet comparatively obscure' and when not even the wildest dreams of imagination could have justified him in the belief that he should ever wear a crown. It would really almost appear that - the curtain of the future had been undrawn, and a dazzling glimpse of his glory purposely revealed to him, in order to give him encouragement to proceed. That Lucien's Memoirs could have been penned by none but an arrant Frenchman, the following naive touch of innate, but unconscious, vanity, abundantly betokens : " We would sooner brave death than the hisses of an assembly, or of the multitude. We sacrifice too much to the pleasure of being applauded." This sentiment is French all over. An Englishman would never have thought of promulgating it. " The Dog Fiend" forms a chapter or two of an historical novel by Cap , tain Marryat. It is lively, and humorous, but not equal to Peter Simple, either in conception or execu tion. " Church Goers," by Richard Howitt, is a pleasing poem, full of grace and melody of versification. The " Temptation," a prose tale, contains one or two striking passages. The Review of " Chorley's Me , morials of Mrs. Hemans" is interesting, chiefly from its extracts. Our " Actors" has a gossipping biogra phical sketch of Kean, Macready, and Tyrone Power. THE PARTERRE. Effingham Wilson. This little publication thrives apace. Every monthly part we receive is more interesting than the one which went before. Nothing is left undone to supply its pages with the prettiest tales, the most interesting anecdotes, and the liveliest bon mots. Books, old and new, are ransacked for it, and, in short, no pains is spared to make it what it is—that is to say, very enter tainina. THE ARBORETUM BRITANNICUM. Nos. XX VI. and XX VII. Ridgway and Sens. Of the excellence of this work, nothing remains to be said by us. It will be completed in five more Num bers. Several of the plates are double the usual size, and they arc all beautifully executed. THE SPORTING MAGAZINE. Pittman. Two engravings of more than average merit embel lish the September Number of the " Sporting Maga zine." The first of a Setter, by Scott, from a paint ing by Turner, is by far the best. To sportsmen this Number will prove very interesting, as the articles all relate to the amusements of the season, spiced with quaint scraps from old books, and some good anecdotes. THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF AGRICUL TURE. Blackwood and Sons. The biographical memoir of the late Sir John Sin-. clair, Bart., commenced in a former Number, is con tinued in this. It is well and interestingly written, and will go a great way towards placing the character of that great and good man in its true light. Time world has yet to learn how much is due to his me mory. The article on the present condition of the Australian Colonies, by Mr. Mackillop, of Hobart : Town, ought to be attentively perused by all emigrantS desirous of settling in that part of the world. "On the claims of the landed interest to Legislative protec tion," is an able argumentative review of a work on the subject from the pen of Mr. Blacker, of Armagh. The writer on the " Application of Steam to the Purposes of Husbandry," has a fourth article in this Number quite as striking as any that preceded it. The conductors of the " Quarterly Journal of Agri culture" are not wanting in their duty to the public. They exercise a very sound discretion in the selection of the different articles, and the work throughout breathes a philanthropic spirit, as creditable to their judgment as to their feelings and habits. THE PICKWICK CLUB. No. VI. Another of Boz 's amusing periodical sketches, re plete with incident, narrated in that broad, humorous manner which has already procured him such deserved popularity. The details of Mr. Leo Hunter's Fancy Dress Party are irresistibly rich in drollery—quite as good as Tom Hood's account of the Cockney's coun try picnic, in his admirable novel of Wanstcad Hall. Boz has also some amusing hits at the pompous self conceit of provincial editors—a fruitful theme for sa tire—though by far the best portions of his sketches are those which tend immediately to develope the harmless peculiarities of the fat cit, Mr. Pickwick. Sam Weller is also an ably sustained sketch, a lit tle trespassing, perhaps, on charicature, but with nature for its ground-work. It gives us pleasure to learn that these Numbers increase, rather than diminish, in attraction. THE ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE.. Longman and Co The present Number contains five original articles, of which the subjects arc—The Principles of Design : Barry's Design for the New Houses of Parliament ; The Principles of Construction of Arches, Piers, and Buttresses ; The Investigation of Perspective, and The Construction of the Roof of the Town Hall of Birmingham. They are all written by distinguished lovers of architectural science. NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE. Contains two well-executed engravings, one, a por trait of Lord Southampton ; and the other, of the well-known horse Cyprian. The literary contents come recommended to us by the communications of Nimrod, descriptive of his late northern and French Sporting Tours. On some more leisure day, we may be tempted to give extracts from these piquant papers. NAVAL HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN. A vast deal of information on naval matters is here compressed into the smallest possible compass. The present Number has, by way of frontispiece, a por trait of Lord Collingwood, whose Memoirs we read the other day with such delight. The work is under the superintendence of Captain Brenton, who appears to have entered on it, quite in a con amore spirit. LIBRARY OF FICTION. No. VI. A pleasing and cheap periodical, containing tales, &c., from the pens of some of our most entertaining writers of fiction. Each Vumber is illustrated with two tolerable wood-cuts. THE NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT 0 SCOTLAND. No. XI. Blackwood and Sons. We are glad to learn that the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland has set so high a value upon this work as earnestly to recommend the Ministers of the several parishes throughout the kingdom, whose reports have not been received by the publishers, to prepare and forward them without delay. This re commendation will of course meet with prompt atten tion, from a body of men whose zeal in promoting the temporal and eternal welfare of their country has never been exceeded. The present Number contains a description of the greater parts of the counties of Banff and Lanark, with the usual embellishment—an excel lent map. THE NAUTICAL MAGAZINE. Shull/tin and Marshall. In addition to several very interesting articles on mnrine afrairt3, this iVra:-.Taz4ic contains a monthly Na vat Chronicle of considerable importance to the ship ping interest. It is generally very well conducted. JANE ARTS. SHAKSPEARE GA . RY . PART fir. The face and figure of Juliet', . as drawn by Pari s, LE for this work, affords us the hest idea n ainting has is o yet given us, of the charming original. 0 : 1, • ib f middle height, slender and well-rounded in her In.. s : . with a lip and eye and cheek, that might send al.. blood rushing through the veins of a water-drinking anchorite, at the rate of ten knots an hour. The: complexion is pale, but it is because Juliet has just; caught sight of Romeo for the first time, and 11 in agonies to know whether he be married orsi:ogrel- When she hears, as her old nurse will presently tent her, that he is in the latter predicament, joy will sow , impart to that eloquent countenance a bloom richer anti lovelier than ever yet painted the cheek of the moss' rose. We advise all striplings of a susceptible turn of soul, to purchase this Number, cut out the portrait of Juliet, get it framed, and hang it up la their sitting-room. They will find it a far better subject for addressing sonnets to, than the moon or the " bulbul." The portrait of Rosalind is less characteristic, but that of " Isabella is equal in its way to Juliet—or Mrs. Montagu, as this young gentlewoman would, had she lived, mos WS suredly have degenerated into, and possibly have passed the evening of her days in playing at cribbage with her fat, gouty husband, Romeo. MEMORIALS OF OXFORD—Nos. 54, 55. We have so often expressed our opinion of this work, that we have nothing left to say on the present occasion, except that is kept up with great spirit and diligence by a gentleman (Dr. Ingram, President 0f Trinity), every way competent to do justice to the an tiquities of Oxford. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) MANSION-HO USE. Two ill-looking vagabonds who gave their names _Robert Allen and John Humphrey, were brought before Mr. Alder man KELLY for endeavouring to pass bad money. The prisoners went to the bar of the European Coffee- House, opposite the Mansion-House, and called for a bottle of spruce, when Allen gave the bar-maid a sovereign. she put the change before them, a half-sovereign and silver, tak ing 3d. for the bottle of spruce. Humphrey said, " 0 you need not change a sovereign, I have plenty of silver," and re quested the barmaid to return them the sovereign. They then substituted a gilt sixpence for the half-sovereign that had been given in the change which the bar-maid observed, and gave the prisoner into custody. The half sovereign was not found upon the prisoners on their being searched, and it was there• fore supposed they had swallowed it upon their manoeuvre being discovered. There not being sufficient evidence to prove they had ut tered base coin, they were discharged. In a few minutes afterwards the prisoner Allen returned , and with the most unblushing effrontery asked the Alderman' if he could not have the sovereign. The ALDERMAN told him he had better make his way as quick as possible out of the Justice-room, and to think hi in— self well off that he had not been fully committed ; for he ,re'" gretted the evidence was not strong enough to enable Ora to do so. B OW- STREET. George Head, John Roberts, and James Smith, respectable young men, were charged before Mr. MINSHULL, by police constable 20 F, with creating a disturbance this morning, be.- tween one and two o'clock. He was going his rounds, and saw the prisoners and two other friends going along in the Piazza, Covent-garden, making a great noise, pushing everY one else off the pavement, ringing all the bells, and knocking at every door. He requested them to be quiet, but they 'went on as before ; he, with assistance, took the prisoners into ens-. tody ; the other two ran away. They then threw all the blame on their two friends who had escaped, but the Magistrate said the public must be protected from being disturbed in this way.—Held to bail. The proprietor and coachman of the hackney-coach, No -1,273, was summoned for taking more than his legal fare. The complainant said he took the coach from the City-read to the White Horse Cellar, in Piccadilly. On his arrival there to go by the Portsmouth Mail, the driver demanded 10s., the fare being only 3s. 6d. On complainant saying he would summon him for the immense overcharge, the driver, oho wa s drunk, abused him in a most gross manner, and collected a crowd. He then took ss. The proprietor said there was not a more civil man on th e stones than his driver. He had felt unwell on the day 53 question, and had employed another driver. Mr. MINSIIULL said he must suffer the consequences of his imprudence, in selecting such an impudent substitute. th is must pay a fine of 40s. for the overcharge ' • and if he had the man who drove, he would punish him for his abuse. The complainant said he had seen him outside. An officer brought him in, and the evidence being again gone inter be begged the gentleman's pardon ; he was drunk, and wee very sorry for it when told of the matter. The MAGISTRATE said such gross conduct could not he passed over. He must pay a fine of 51., or be imprisoned one month. -.._ The 40s. fine was paid, and the driver (John Cooper) locked up in default of paying the 5/. UNION-HALL. A young woman named Susan Darnoch was this morning brought before Mr. Traill in consequence of being found nre,n dering about Lock's Fields. From th e statement of tne policeman, it appeared that between 11 and 12 o'clock 184 night he discovered the young woman in Lock's Fields, and upotl questioning her, she stated her husband had turned her 0 14 of doors, and she had no place to go to. She had a pplied t ° the parish, and her husband had been ordered to allow he r 7s. a-week, which, however, he had never paid. The Consto, ble believed the statement of the young woman to be corre ct, for when he took h er t o h er mother-in-law, she refused to let her in, and the overseers of the Workhouse had refused to re- lieve her. Mr. TRANI, said that the parish officers must relieve I °l and if her husband was brought before him and still refused to assist her, he would commit him. MARL B ORO U GH-STREET. A respectable-looking young man, named James Allen, w lic ' stated that he was formerly clerk to a machine-maker at rreZ ton, and at present nothing at all, was charged by John GOOllO life with having assaulted him on Tuesday evening last, Black Bear-street. It appeared from the statement of the complainant, that 0: defendant, who was " larking" with some other young 1ne, 11 4 , 1 d Coventry-court, jostled him, and made use of very ins u ` t-- " language, which complainant resented by inflicting a treme:- dons kick upon the seat of honour of his antagonist. A „ r i; gular set-to ensued, in which the complainant came off °- second-best, and he now applied to the Bench for redress. Mr. CIIAMBERS—SO, after taking the law into your a d bands, you find you were not able to beat the man enoug h, nowCoyou come for a warrant ? • ti mplainant—He beat me very severely, and I ambrolae all over the body. , , L od MAGISTRAT E—YCS ; but you commenced th e assault) - thereby put yourself out of Court. The defendant was fined Is. for using improper langu a g e' and discharged. THE FUNDS.-C. BRITISH :.USING PRICES. FUNDS. Omniam ..................................
